( I have to have Vista to use firewire ) on an Acer 4420-5963. This was done after having a connection problem with Vista. I had to reinstall. Likewise had to re-install Ubuntu and tried the newest version. Hardy worked fine on this, other than I was unable to listen to some streaming audio. With Ibex, I was able to listen to the audio streams I could not before. But I now have a bigger problem. I cannot watch any video files of any type. For whatever reason, you tube will play video. However if I go to any other site, or try to watch any stored videos, the video player starts momentarily, then shuts down. I have several different players installed and this happens with all of them! I cannot watch videos. Since compiling videos, and burning them to disk is one of my main hobbies, this really is a problem. I have to use Vista to do it. I never had a problem when I was using Hardy.

Now i have the Desktop Alternate installed. The only issue i´ve got is the from now on slow Networking of Ibex. My Samba has 40% decrased the speed, but on gigabit connection i don´t worry bout that. The Desktop is a bit slower than Hardy, but completly stable and the features are simple. Best of the Features: My graphic card works fine with the installed driver. Great work from the programmers of Ibex. Maybe one day Ubuntu is the only installed system in my Network. I tried Ibex and it works great on my last Fileserver.

I have a 5920G too, and even after installation was completed (with several crashes) it still crashes really often. It just stops and the caps light starts "blinking" like the HD light does. But except for the light, everything is blocked. It also doesn't know any "ubiquity" command. Any ideas? Hi,

I've tried Intrepid in my Acer 5920G. Most of the unsupported soft I use just didn't work (of course there might be some alternatives, but still...). The things that made me return to Hardy were 1) speed, 2) Xbindkeys which allowed me to work with my mutimedia keys went crazy, no chage in configuration seemed to work; as well as the rest of my extra keys. I think I'll wait for some months until Jackalope is released :) Great log of your experience. I’ve tried Intrepid in my Acer 5920G.
